Hydrothermal carbonization of raw and lipid-extracted Nitzschia laevis: evaluation of hydrochar as solid fuel and process water as biochemical source.

Microalgal biomass represents a renewable and carbon-neutral resource to produce biofuels and value-added biochemicals. In this study, both raw and lipid-extracted Nitzschia laevis biomass were subjected to hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) in a batch…
